Set in Indiana in the late 1820s, and based on historical fact, Honestly Abe presents the young Abe Lincoln as a lanky, prankster boy who loves to read and who can tell a yarn with the best of them. Close to both his mother and sister, while never quite seeing eye-to-eye with his father, Abe dreams of the day he can quit the family farm, leave his life of "rail-splitting" in the past and become a riverboat pilot. But family tragedies, a desire for revenge and the advice of a close friend will cause him to change his plans, setting him on the path toward the law and politics, but not before leaving someone very special behind.
The Off-Broadway cast of Honestly Abe-The Musical celebrated their 1 year anniversary at Actor's Temple on February 10th, 2012. The hit family musical will continue its Off-Broadway run and launch its Community Partnership Program. The program will bring special community performances and workshops to students all over the city both in the schools and at the theatre. (more...)
